Archivist’s Notes

One published source gives a date of birth of 6 May 1816, but his age at death was listed as sixty-nine years on his New York City death certificate and his first marriage was in January 1834, which would suggest the earlier birth year. He likely resigned or was dropped from the rolls between 1851 and 1854.
